Listening to Ragil's words, my staff and I couldn't help but be silent.

However, it does not seem surprising that it has been more than four months since the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and in the past four months, the Soviets have only feared that they have had enough of the sneak attacks of the Afghan guerrillas...... Many of those who attacked were even Afghans......

We've been hearing a lot about this over the years...... The reason why the Afghan people were able to sneak attack the Soviet army was entirely because the people had a lot of equipment in their hands.

Afghanistan is a troubled time, isn't it? Isn't it common to fight between tribes? So it was normal for the people to have a few guns and a few grenades in their hands to defend themselves...... In addition, the people were very dissatisfied with the invasion of the Soviet army and the atrocities of the fortified wall, so they frequently carried out sneak attacks on the Soviet army...... Some of them planted mines on the roads, some took advantage of the darkness of the night to shoot black guns, and some threw grenades into the barracks.

However, this is not a good thing for us...... Because the Soviets are accustomed to being attacked by the Afghans, the vigilance is becoming tighter and tighter, so that it is difficult for us to find an opportunity to attack now.

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping said: "Or ...... Let's go to the Afghan government army! ”

"The defense of the Afghan government army is relatively lax!" Ragil immediately agreed: "And the Soviets often stationed them in more sensitive areas...... That is, where the partisans often appeared, and the Soviets thought that this would serve as a warning! ”

"What does the alarm do?" I couldn't help but feel a little strange when I heard this.

"Yes!" Aguirre nodded: "The Soviets rarely go out at night, but they also know that the partisans will take advantage of the night to come out and operate...... In order to be able to fight the guerrillas even more, the Soviets put government troops on guard in places where the guerrillas often frequented. In the end, it is to put it in front and send it to death. But the guerrillas are not fools...... They were also there to cope with the Soviets. Even if you find the guerrillas, pretend not to see them! ”

"What if ......" thought about it, and then I asked Ragil: "What if the guerrillas are discovered?" ”

"Of course, we will send troops to reinforce them!" Ragil replied.

"Send Soviet troops reinforcements or government army reinforcements!" I asked again.

"It depends!" "If it's small, it's firepower...... It's the government army. If the guerrillas are larger, the firepower is beyond what the government forces can withstand...... Then the Soviet army will follow! ”

I couldn't help but turn my eyes to Zhao Jingping, who nodded silently and said four words: "Lead the snake out of the hole!" ”

So the battle plan was quickly decided...... That evening we were ready to enter Afghanistan.

First of all, the issue of the allocation of troops...... Considering that the policy of this operation is to "lure the snake out of the hole," our troops cannot be too small or too many, and if there are fewer troops, it will not be enough to lure out the Soviet troops, and if there are too many troops, it will not be easy to hide, and it will be easy for Soviet reconnaissance planes or reconnaissance units to discover them...... Once discovered, it is sure to be fatal. This resulted either by being besieged by the Soviet army or, as Rajir said, directly a few aviation incendiary bombs fell and set on fire.

With this in mind, Zuihou decided to split the force into two parts...... Splitting up is not a big problem because the two units are more difficult to work together, but this is not a big problem because we have a radio station.

The advantage is that the forces are relatively scattered, and it is not easy to be encircled and annihilated by the Soviet army and the Afghan government army.

This is very important to us, on the one hand, because we have to lure the snake out of the hole...... One unit draws the snake out, and the other forces fight the snake, which in itself requires us to divide the force into two parts. On the other hand...... Split into two parts, we can also have enough troops to carry out jihua.

So the troops were quickly divided...... One is the snake army, which is led by Aguirre, and King Chuang takes several staff officers as advisors. Because their task was to fight the Afghan government forces and attract the attention of the Soviet army as much as possible, the intensity of the combat was generally not very large. So most of them are Hassan's guerrillas. Just so that it could lure the Soviet troops out, a sniper platoon and mortar platoon were strengthened for it.

The other force is the Snake Fighting Force...... There is no need to think about this unit, because it is the Soviet army that is going to fight, and it is the first battle since we went abroad, so we do not dare to be sloppy, and it is composed of two platoons of the special service company, one platoon of the partisans, and one mortar platoon of the sniper platoon.

Of course, I am well aware that the integration of partisans into the army affects combat effectiveness...... In particular, this partisan detachment is incompatible with our equipment and does not speak the same language...... We used AK74s, and the guerrillas used AK47s...... This will undoubtedly lead to a lot of trouble when fighting, such as coordination issues and supply issues.

But...... On the one hand, our aim is to improve the guerrillas' combat effectiveness, to train and arm the guerrillas, not to fight ourselves. On the other hand, because the guerrillas are more familiar with the terrain and climate of Afghanistan, we may need guerrillas to teach us how to do it during the march and fighting.

This force was led by Hassan and me, and Zhao Jingping and several staff officers served as advisers...... The main reason for taking them with them is to let them know the operational environment and methods in Afghanistan with great emotion, so as to provide a basis for their future command and planning.

As for the others...... It was led by the deputy battalion commander Zhang Zuoliang to garrison the base, although it would not be much of a security problem for the base to be garrisoned by Major Rana with a company of troops, but in this troubled world...... And it's on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, and we can't say anything for sure, especially since we still have more than a million dollars in cash in our base...... So it's better to be careful!

"Weishenme doesn't take me?" Chen Yiyi was a little unhappy because the two sisters were arranged at the base.

"It's not that you don't know," I said...... "those Afghans don't think about women the same!" ”

"Then it's okay to go to war!" Chen Yiyi said dissatisfiedly: "They look down on women, but we are different...... Besides, I'm fighting for my own troops again, and I have nothing to do with them! ”

"Let's go some time!" I was a little embarrassed: "Wait a while...... They're used to having women in our troops, so they'll take you there! ”

"Okay!" Chen Yiyi nodded and explained, "You...... Be careful! ”

Chen Yiyi's words exposed her thoughts...... She wasn't really interested in the war in Afghanistan at all, she wanted to go to war just for my safety.

But to be honest, this time is because of the reunion of Chen Yiyi's sisters...... The two sisters stick together all day long, and I am busy with the training of the army, so I rarely have time alone with Chen Yiyi, and I really want to take Chen Yiyi to the battlefield and leave Chen Qiaoqiao behind...... But the rejection of women by Afghans, and the fact that there is no room for error in this war, eventually dismissed this idea.

Then we changed into Afghan costumes and headed out on the road with dozens of mules...... Needless to say, the fact that we have sealed the military uniforms of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) since we started training guerrillas, although these uniforms have long since taken off the red five-star and look like the clothes worn by ordinary people. He was dressed in guerrilla-like camouflage uniforms, not only for secrecy, but also for training purposes.

As for now...... We're already on the battlefield, so it's natural to change into similar clothes as the rest of the Afghan guerrillas...... Again, this was done not only for the sake of secrecy, but also to prevent the Soviet Union from identifying them in the air.

To know...... If the other Afghan guerrillas wore white shirts and black shirts, and we wore camouflage uniforms...... And they went to battle in this camouflage uniform, and the Soviets soon knew...... The guerrillas who attacked us last night were wearing camouflage uniforms, and they were very combat-ready, and they inflicted heavy casualties on us...... Be sure to find them and annihilate them!

As a result, Soviet reconnaissance planes and helicopters would go around searching for partisans dressed in camouflage...... As soon as it is discovered, it will immediately organize a siege and annihilation...... We're not asking for trouble!

On the other hand, if we dress like the Afghans, we won't have this problem...... This is how all Afghan guerrillas are dressed, even by the common people...... The Afghan guerrillas are actually ordinary people with guns, and of course, some of them are used to wearing uniforms, and some of them have defected from government forces, such as Aguirre...... But the number is not very large.

Although this Afghan costume is still a little unaccustomed to wearing on the body, it is still quite practical to say...... We knew it when we put it on and walked on the road, the cuffs and trousers were very wide, very airy, and much cooler than camouflage clothes...... It is very hot during the day in Afghanistan, so such a costume is just right for heat dissipation. In addition, this bandana only needs to be pulled horizontally to the face...... and cover their mouth and nose tightly...... It's not that Weishenme doesn't see people, but that Afghanistan is a place where the wind and sand are strong, and the air is full of dust, and the headscarf can play a very role in filtering the dust.

From this point of view, this characteristic clothing or something should be related to the local geography and climatic conditions...... Geography and climate are like this, so there are all kinds of clothes in front of the people, and the people will naturally tend to choose clothes that are suitable for the local climate and geography, or ...... In the long-term life, in order to make themselves more comfortable and more adaptable to the local climate and geography, the people changed their ...... It's what it looks like now!

This is also a benefit for us...... With the hijab covered, no one knows if we are Afghans or not. (To be continued......)
